(Sweden) -- A controversial podcaster on Spotify isn't going anywhere.  

The CEO of the music streaming service criticized Joe Rogan for using a racial slur but doesn't believe canceling his show is the answer. Daniel Ek says his comments are hurtful and don't represent the company, but wants to look at the issue more broadly.  

He confirmed Rogan removed dozens of episodes before apologizing. He's also at the center of a protest over COVID vaccine misinformation.
